  Going off at a tangent I saw a stage version of "The diary of Anne Frank" many years ago and when it reached the tense bit with the Gestapo chaps searching her house the lights went off and the tension could be cut with a knife until some wag shouted out "she's hiding in the attic".

  The mind boggles!
  What sort of sick and perverted mind at " FunCostumes " thought this one up?
  Still, anything to boost that all important profit margin eh?

  Agreed, why they called it that is beyond me, they could easily have called it Evacuee costume.
